DocArray: a data structure for unstructured data

That linked document must be written for a very specific target audience because it seems to use a lot of words without providing context of the problem it's solving. The example in their GH repo is a little more "this does what?": https://github.com/jina-ai/docarray#example-1-represent-mult... although even that is a little "don't worry where there seemingly random methods on Document came from" which https://docarray.jina.ai/api/docarray.document/#docarray.doc... seems to fill in a little more

Then again, I guess folks were similarly confused in the past:

I felt the same. The most important thing for a new library or language to do in its introduction is to show meaningful examples that solve a problem in the target domain in the canonical way.

Thanks for pointing that out, I came across it via @ https://qdrant.tech/documentation/install/#docarray so I was not sure what other libs were integrating it

Thanks, the GitHub readme is much clearer.

If you or others need that much explanation it's probably not for you. Perhaps read [Multimodal Search](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimodal_search) and see whether it clarifies you.
